i have ATo in BB. Flop is 8,9,J. I check, UTG bets and gets 3 calls. Ordinarily, I would raise 4 opponents on the flop with an OESD, but here I am only using one hole card to make the straight, so the chance that I will split the pot increases, and the ev of my raise decreases. At the same time, the outs to my ace may be good, so this makes up from some of the ev I lose in case I split the pot. All in all, I still think raising is the correct play, but I'm not sure.

Some information on the pre-flop action and some reads on your opponents would be helpful here. In most situations here I am leading out on the flop.

You can still raise for value.

UTG raised pf, so I checked to him, knowing that he would bet, and I could raise if enough players called his bet.
